01Why now

The work is changing faster than you can staff it.

The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.

Serialization is now mandated

Rules like DSCSA and UDI require unique, verifiable codes on individual units with intact parent-child aggregation. Manual serialization is error-prone at volume; a single duplicated or unreadable code stalls shipments and breaks the traceability chain regulators expect.

Mislabels drive costly recalls

A wrong label or unscannable code is among the most common, most expensive defects to escape a plant. Closed-loop verification catches the bad part at the cell, before it reaches a customer, an audit, or a recall notice.

Traceability without the headcount

High-mix lines demand constant relabel changeovers and full-rate code checks that wear on manual labor. A cell that reconfigures per part and verifies every code holds the line rate while keeping the record complete and audit-ready.

02What we automate

What the service covers.

One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.

A

Print and apply

Print a label on demand and apply it to a located surface within tolerance.

B

Label varied parts

Place labels accurately across mixed geometries, curved housings, and inconsistent surfaces.

C

Direct part marking

Laser or dot-peen a permanent serial or logo directly onto the part.

D

Date and lot coding

Inkjet date, lot, and batch codes onto packaging or part surfaces in line.

E

Serialization

Assign and apply unique serial numbers per unit for DSCSA or UDI compliance.

F

Code verification

Scan and grade every barcode or 2D matrix for legibility before release.

03See the work

One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.

A

On the line

Labeling, Marking & Serialization work handled at line rate, across the mix.

B

Assembly

Insertions, press-fits, and fastening with force control.

C

Inspection

Closed-loop machine vision. Every part checked, not sampled.

D

Cleaning & finishing

Deburring, spray, and surface work, adapted per part.

04How we work

Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.

The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

  1. 01ScopePart, takt, fixturing, and safety boundary fixed upfront.
  2. 02Pre-buildCell built and tuned at Relling HQ, not your line.
  3. 03ConfigureSized and fixtured to your exact part.
  4. 04QualifyProven safe and capable before it ships.
  5. 05PilotFirst production run on your line.
  6. 06ProductionRunning the work, shift after shift.
  7. 07FleetAdd cells as the work pays for them.
05Inside the cell

Everything arrives in one qualified unit.
